goldberg anniversary cub
I am in the process of building the anniversary cub, when I went to install the fusalage top I noticed the tabs do not line up with the notches on the fus. sides. Lining up the forward tabs leaves the rest of them (to the tail) forward of the notches. Has anyone else ran into this and solved the problem.

OLD ENGINE
A friend of mine picked up an "OLD" engine at a yard sale the other day and gave it to me, It has a spark ignition and a champion spark in it. I'll try to post some pictures later (need batteries for camera) looks about the size of a .60. On a plate on the side of engine it reads......... O.H.O N.Y. U.S.A AERO I was wondering if this looks/sounds familiar to anybody..thanks

RE: dynaflite bird of time
G eronimo: Thanks for the lmfo, I was thinking of operating them both from 1 servo in the fuselage via tubes and strings with rubber bands to PULL them closed. I sounds like the spoilers you used are the ones Grauphner makes/ thanks again for the imfo.

RE: Cleaning color smears after monokote covering
To clean color smears get one of the static sheets your wife uses in the clothes dryer, lay it flat and rub the iron across it, smears will come off.

RE: wheel pants
Thanks for the imfo guys. I'll probably go with 3 1/2" wheels (1 size up due to grass field.) This is my first build after a 17 year break (kids in college) I had a stroke 1 year ago and decided to try again, good exercise for my hand for the winter months. It's been mostly a one hand build but it's turning out O.K.
